Hi guys!

I am a new member here and I just started to run my car (02 z/28) at some track events. I had a blast at a spectator event last weekend and I am going to be putting some new parts on the camaro. I am wondering if you guys had any suggestions on seats for me. I am trying to keep the cost relatively low and would like reclining seats as I still drive the car on the street quite a bit! Any help is appreciated! I am currently looking at the Corbeau CR1.

Thanks,

Justin

Corbeau is popular because they are cheap. They are cheap because they are designed poorly,
and manufactured poorly.

I recommend picking up a used set of Pontiac 4th gen seats - they have deeper thigh bolsters than the Camaro seats, and a more useful, adjustable headrest. Should be able to find them cheap, they fit, and are OEM sturdy.

Any other suggestions besides used set of Pontiac 4th gen seats. I like more prominent bolsters than the factory Pontiac 4th gens have.
Thank you
